Little Jackson Whittal, who was then aged five, was left with a nasty cut on his face after going on the Roundabout Rocket Ride ahead of the Christmas lights switch in 2017.

His father Christopher Phillips said during the ride each of the 'rockets' moved up and down as it span around – but that Jackson’s rocket kept clipping a rail, forcing it to move sharply up and down, which caused his tooth to pierce his lip.
